It seems to me there are privacy knock-on effects. How long does the logging need to be on? If you turn on logging, does it turn on logging for all? (Seems likely yes) Therefore one warrant can put all other privacy-desiring users at risk...


>How long does the logging need to be on?

This would depend on the warrant.

>If you turn on logging, does it turn on logging for all? (Seems likely yes)

No, the warrant must have a specific (non-drag-net) scope. Broadly scoped warrants are fought to reduce the scope to something specific (reduced time-frame, reduced users, etc.). This is common, even with Google/FB. I'm not sure why you assume yes.

>Therefore one warrant can put all other privacy-desiring users at risk...

No, not really.
